Rolls Spotted, Camera Missing

One of these days I'll take my own advice and start toting a camera whenever I'm on the streets of Sidney, BC, where I live. That's because interesting old cars are a common sight year-round in this Vancouver Island town. For example, the other day I came upon a lovely 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III in two-tone maroonlinks and black. The owner must have tired of answering questions for a fact sheet was taped on the inside of a rear window, thus I learned that it had a V-12 engine, an independent front suspension, an early form of anti-lock brakes, and can cruise effortlessly at 80 mph. The engine has a one-piece aluminum crankcase plus aluminum heads and produces 180 hp @ 3000 rpm. Alas, I missed my photo op but the car shown here is almost identical, including the color scheme. Credit, instead, goes to ConceptCarz.com, which offers additional historic background.
